Bobbleheads, T-shirts, bats – M’s games you should know about

Baseball season is getting close; Opening Day is less than a month away, on April 1 (no foolin’). And the Mariners’ first home game will be April 8 against the AL West-newcomer Houston Astros.

Single-game tickets to Mariners games are going on sale next week, on March 16. The prices are viewable on the Mariners website, and the team says that “over 90 percent of all single-game tickets will be offered at or below 2012 prices.”

Single-game tickets also are pricier when a more popular team, such as the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees or Chicago Cubs, comes to town. A Mariners spokesperson said that under the team’s new-ish “dynamic” pricing scheme, prices could change as a game nears to “reflect the market.”

Anyway, we thought you might want some help deciding which games to go to this season. Below is a list of most of the Mariners’ fan promotions in 2013 — like bobble-heads, T-shirts, beard hats and free bats. (A complete list of game promotions — including days when there are ticket deals for seniors, college students and others — is available on the Mariners website.)

The gallery above has a few photos of the giveaways, but the Mariners didn’t have photos available for anything else.
